Takeoff: A Points and Miles Podcast · Wednesday, August 26, 2026
One of the podcast's contributors shares that they are only now getting around to closing credit cards that were reviewed two years prior. This delay resulted in paying two additional years of annual fees, particularly after the fees increased, making the cards no longer cost-effective.
“Mine definitely doesn't top that, but I wish someone would close cards for me. I just went through closing a card and it was probably two years ago when we did the episode with the review of my wallet, and I think I'm finally getting around to closing some of those cards.”
“Yeah, but like, I was breaking even on them, but now the annual fees went up and it's breaking even just isn't good enough anymore.”
